I did think about loading up on a bunch of Imodium for the next couple of days.  Maybe a little hesitant after a family member OD'd on it, though.  Did you know that's what people are using for highs these days?  I didn't either until then.

It sounds like an incredibly important contest.  Good luck!

 

[Osaurus]

Primm huh? Looks like it’s on the way to Mojave National Preserve so it has that going for it.

Just weight, which worries me actually because I'll be upping my hiking game as the weather gets better, giving me more muscle tone in place of fat.

We have our team now of three lawyers and two paralegals, and there's already a bunch of chatter about how we can game the system.   I got the gallon of water recommendation from one of them, plus loading up on salt this weekend and...are you ready for this...not pooping before the weigh in.  I will honestly be able to say I wasn't pooping!

So the rich will get richer. Thanks Trump and cookies 

 

[El Floppo]

We would jump the fence into universal studios. I had a collection of teeth from jaws. The hide and seek from security was what made it fun. I used to hide in the psycho house all the time. 

My friends yes to try to do "beer heists" from the delivery trucks. Would wait until the guy carried the stuff inside and if he left anything unlocked would grab what we could and dash. Slow Tony is still doing 40years in Lompoc.

This was so stupid.   She goes to a private school where they wear uniforms, but middle school kids can donate a $1 to charity on Fridays and have a casual day.  She was wearing jeans and a long sleeve sweatshirt.

The vice principal claimed her sweatshirt was too short (it is long enough that it went over the waistband of her jeans).   They offered to let her pick through the lost and found and find something to wear.   She declined to wear someone else's dirty clothes.

I picked her up and there were three or four moms in the lobby, as well as an administrator.   All of us agreed she wasn't in violation of the dress code.  

They did this an hour before school got out.  Her final period is a TA elective, so the only person that got punished was the teacher for whom she was supposed to be making copies and grading tests.

Bureaucracy is so counterproductive sometimes.

There's a diet challenge starting Monday at work where people form teams of five, and the team with members losing the closest to 16.67% of their weight by the end of May wins $10,000.   One of the paralegals in my group wanted to form a team, so I've joined.

This means i should spend the next three days eating as much pizza and Girl Scout cookies as possible to bulk up before the start, right?

Eat a #### ton of carbs and salt. Water retention is the key. Think bread, pancakes, sandwiches, pasta etc. 

Then cut carbs/salt that first week. Eat no starches outside of veggies. Have your whole team do this for 10 days. You will be sooooo far ahead the other teams will ####### give up. 

 

[mr roboto]

Also, get a colon flush or whatever it’s called. Plz no pics.

Transmission flush and refill imo. Gotta keep the pipes and fluids clean.

My Wrangler has been in the shop going on three straight weeks now (evidently parts are on their way from Jupiter) so I have zero sympathy. 

well..... it's a Jeep.  kind of to be expected.

 

[mr. furley]

Body fat or only weight?  Either way, drink a gallon of water before the weigh in.  On top of all the pizza no cookies

being water drunk is no joke

 

[Leroy Hoard]

My kids throw toy hammers at each others heads. Darwinism amirite? Really proud of them.

And to think todays kids do this without first watching 1930's era 3 Stooges films.

 

[krista4]

Assuming you just want to win, and don't actually want to do something healthy, I would recommend:

Eat a salty, high carb meal the night before the weigh in
Tank up on as much water as you can possibly drink right before the first weigh in.
Don't eat any carbs for the 3-4 days before the final weigh in
Don't drink any water for the day before the weigh in
Spend as much time in a sauna as possible that last day

Warning: The last two may or may not be really bad for you and you should definitely consult a doctor before doing it. 

I was trying to think of where I’d go for a sauna and then remembered that I thought we have one in the house and went to check.  We do.  I should really go downstairs more often.   

 

[RC94]

In case anyone wants to know, if there's an online submission form to suggest names for a new park, "parky mcparkface" is not in any way original and will not result in amusement by anyone the 37th time they see it. 

If the people want to name the park "Parky McParkface" then the decision makers should listen to the people.  I think it would be a great name for a park.

 

[krista4]

Thanks for the ideas, guys.  If we win the big $$, first round of shot videos is on me.

 

[RC94]

I can assure you the decision makers will listen to the people

The people have spoken!

When I was in high school my friend Duff took an inflatable boat into Mission Bay, went up to the back fence of Sea World, climbed over and stole a keg from their catering area.  For two weeks he would roll up to the parking lot after surfing, get out of his hotboxed VW bug, and we’d drink warm ####ty beer from the keg before school.

This reminds me of high school. Except it was my Impala and not a VW. And it was warm cans of beer in my trunk except a keg. And instead of after surfing it was while on break working at Ponderosa.

OH COME ON

Actually actually true.  I knew we had one once, but - you might not find this surprising - couldn’t remember if it was this house or a different house.

Pretty much the same thing happened to me the other day. Amazon package showed up with a new can opener in it and my wife showed me where our old one was... totally in the wrong drawer. Luckily Amazon is good about returns.

OMG, I bought 4 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies this morning!

Then I drove over to see my mom with Drake, but when I got there she was in dialysis so I left her a box with half Dosi-Dos and half Thin Mints on her pillow.  She's on a stupid restricive diet so not supposed to have any treats but screw all that noise.  She isn't getting any better, let her eat what she wants, damn it!

Keep the Somoas for yourself?

finishing off box no. 3 right now.  

two more to go.

My wife loves Tag Alongs, so I bought her 2 boxes.  Kids like the Thin Mints.  Apparently nobody likes the Dosi-dos but Drake picked those out because the box was orange.  Kids....

I know I'm morbidly obese, but I really don't eat sweets.  Beer, meat and cheese are my great undoing.

Yep.  Wife has been doing weight watchers and I think I’ve lost 5 pounds as collateral damage, although it’s probably from me drinking less (football over and new job requires me to show up on time do drinking less during the week)

So...there was an avalanche at mammoth today, the ski resort I'm at. My kid and I were about a half mile below the avalanche. If we had been 15 earlier we would have been on the lift above/next to it.  It shook me up pretty badly,  it took almost 3 hours to get home, normally 15 minutes, due to the absolute chaos that ensued.  Drinking now.

No injuries yet. 3 people were buried but managed to get themselves out. I linked the official report on the facebooks

F that noise, what about Lady Raiders' bewbs?

Exaggerations went up by 15 million percent last year.

From climax, down through upper dry creek across face of 5 all the way down to the lift(5)

Lol. All good!  I just showed her this.

That seems like a very conservative estimate.

Tagalongs

Thin Mints (frozen)

Whatever why don't you just buy some Nutter Butters or something

 

[krista4]

This is when you know you've become too rich.

  Our house is not big.  You get to the sauna through a bathroom.  A bathroom that Mr. krista uses.  Until today, I hadn't been in there since replacing the switchplates and repainting the whole damn thing when we moved in.

I blame the 2 year old.  He tried to eat one in the car and threw it down in disgust.

If I were too rich I wouldn't be bulking up right now so that I can lose weight and win $10k!

So, I can expect only about $1 million donation?  Every little bit helps!

 

[mr. furley]

is this representative of what i have been missing by not watching IASIP? and if so, why hasn't anyone told me that i should have been watching all along?

 

[DA RAIDERS]

If I were too rich I wouldn't be bulking up right now so that I can lose weight and win $10k!  

That reminds me!  You should totally load up on a MEGAROID BROCHACHO protein shake 2 hours before weigh in, one hour before, one gallon of water. This part should be easy for you, no going to the bathroom of any kind during the weigh in load up.

beuna suerte.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

A reporter from the LA Times contacted me on the facebooks and wants my account of today's avalanche.   

more drinks, then call him?  Ignore him as I am currently doing?
